wow - I had gathered what info I had from my local state archives - I has no idea there was so much more to be found.
I will definitely follow your advice to obtain the records. To be honest I was so into the content of these posts, I
had not noticed the red box at the top! Thank you so very much for your help - I feel I owe these guys - they have my
heart! - none of my war dead had children - had it not been for their baby brother who was too young to fight I would
not be here - I want them to be remembered, even if it's just by me...
